Announced today, we’re happy to share news that The Evil Within, the new survival horror game from Tango Gameworks (led by Resident Evil’s Shinji Mikami) will release on Tuesday, August 26th in North America and three days later (August 29th) in Europe.

To celebrate the occasion, for the first time we’re showcasing the game’s final packaging in the Vine above.

We’ve got much more coming on The Evil Within. Discuss the game in our forums and be on the lookout for news and updates on our Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter accounts.

The longer they wait the better. Don’t get me wrong, I want the next BGS game as much as anyone. However, if Skyrim would of been delayed another year, the civil war and so much more would of been finished. They only had a year and a half to two years to make the game, the rest was filled with the engine and polishing the game. When it comes to next gen, the world will be bigger, (Easily 3 or more times, depending on how they allocate the resources.) so it’s going to take more time. I want them to take all the time they need, so instead of getting GOTY, they get Game of the Generation or Game of the Decade. When they announce it, they announce it. Just let them take their time, so it will be more of an Epic.

Anyways, I can’t wait for this. Shinji Mikami will take back survival horror on August 26.
